On July 17, the European Union and Japan agreed to recognize each other's data
protection systems as "equivalent," which would allow
personal data to flow safely between the European Union and Japan.
The next step is for each side to adopt the adequacy finding. For
the European Union, this involves obtaining an opinion from the
European Data Protection Board and approval from a committee
composed of representatives of the EU Member States. If approved,
this mutual adequacy arrangement would create the world's
largest area of safe transfers of data based on a high level of
protection for personal data.
